GANAPATI SCHOOL, MANGALORE

Hippocampus Learning centers launched its KG program in the coastal city of Mangalore in May 2015 signing up three popular schools – Shri Ramakrishna Higher primary school , Shree Gujarathi English Medium School & shree Narayana guru English Medium school run by the Bunts community , the Gujarathi Mahajan community & the Billava Community respectively.

These are” Affordable private Schools “ with the aim and objective of providing QUALITY EDUCTION AT AN AFFORDABLE COST, very similar to the aim of Hippocampus learning centres. With the success of HLC spreading soon, another member was added to our family of Learning Partners – Ganapathy English medium School ( GEMS ) from May 2016.

‘GEMS ‘ is a 143 year old institution and was started in 1870 and is located in the heart of Mangalore city. Today it is run by the Chitrapur saraswath Community and Mr. Ramachandra Rao and Mr. Mahesh Bondal are the guiding lights of this school. Mrs Ranjitha Joshi is the Head mistress and is very supportive of our program. This school invested quite a sum of money in the makeover of its KG infrastructure to support our learning program. Since then, the school has been successfully implementing our KG program and a review from a senior KG teacher says, she never thought learning and Teaching could be so much fun and admits that she has been enjoying each day of our curriculum and so has her students, since not a single child today hesitates to attend or throws any tantrums to miss school even for a single day.

Considering the success of the KG program the school decides to extend this wonderful program to its students of class 1, 2 & 3 and signs up for our Primary program too. GEMS becomes the first customer to sign up with our Primary program with its launch in May 2017 followed by Ramakrishna higher Primary school for class 1.

Since then our primary program is doing considerably well with teachers who are well trained and well equipped with our TLMs and Lesson Plans. Mrs Kalpana Shenoy a senior teacher and the class teacher of grade 2 admits that she was unaware of many kinds of teaching techniques which she happened to learn during our training program. She also said she is surprised that primary teaching could be so innovative and different than what she did from past 20 years.

GEMS also venture into another project of Parijnan Vidyalaya , a KG school located in Someshwar, a few Kms away from Mangalore city. This school will further extend to a CBSE primary school following our primary curriculum with classes from 1-4 from the next academic year 2018-19.

The management of this school believes that every child has a ”Right to be Educated “ and each one of us should contribute towards the success of educating every child with the best quality of education. We, at hippocampus are proud to have contributed our bit by providing a wonderful and unique child-centric curriculum enjoyed by each child in the classroom.
